Front Porch Lyrics - Singles - Slobberbone

Driven to silence but I'm drowning in sin 

My mandolin hangs on the wall once again 

I can't seem to find the right words from within 

But I won't be looking for long 

There comes a time when nothing seems clear 

When you're past out on the front porch with a head full of beer 

Confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear 

But I won't be thinking for long 

So many years ago when I was pure 

I was drunk on direction but afflicted with a cure 

For all ailments cynical, that's how things were 

But I didn't stay drunk for too long 

Notions and knowledge came and sobered me up 

I sipped from their bottle and I slammed a whole cup 

That swill seemed to sit well, but I should've thrown it up 

'Cause it didn't sit well for too long 

I was a fool, I was stupid because 

I was mistaking knowledge for just a good buzz 

Five years drunk on wine and words and wit 

Served by cynics and charlatans, they were all full of shit 

Empty cans of frustration and cans of regret 

Line the living room floor that you've often swept 

Pop another one open and wretch at the stench 

It's a hard drink to swallow for a thirst you can't quench 

But there'll, there'll come a time when it all seems clear 

When your past out on the front porch with your head full of beer 

Confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear 

But I won't be clouded for long 

Now I'm driven to silence and I'm drowning in sin 

My mandolin hangs on the wall once again 

I can't seem to find the right words from within 

But I won't be looking for long 

I'll stink of drink till I let you in 

Then I won't be stinking for long 

No, I won't be stinking for long
